-Whatever it takes. Cold calling and knocking on doors to build your practice.

-The path to solo practice. How did Dr. Sims get his practice started? What tools and resources did he use?

-”Verbally vomiting all over the patient!” Sometimes less is more.

-Dr. Sims on strategies for maximizing his time with patients and keeping low overhead.
